Creating Ruled Surface

You can create Ruled Surfaces from an existing surface of a model. The Ruled Surfaces are the surfaces that extend out in a specific direction from the selected edges.

Before you begin: Generate a model from 2D Sketch and open it in the work area.
  1. From the Surfaces section of the Action Bar, click Ruled Surface .
  2. Select the edges of a model in the work area.
    The selection appears in the Ruled Surface dialog box.
  3. Select the linear or planer direction from the work area.
  4. Specify a value in the Distance field. Alternatively, you can drag a small arrow in the work area.
  5. Click to flip the direction of Distance. Alternatively, you can click the small arrow.
  6. Specify a value in the Angle field. Alternatively, you can drag the dot in the work area.
  7. Click Propagation to extend the selection up to the edges that are tangent to the selected edge.
  8. Select one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    Open Corners. The resulting surface has open corners.
    Round Corners. The resulting surface has round corners.
    Sharp Corners. The resulting surface has sharp corners.
    Linear Corners. The resulting surface has linear corners.
